Testimonials

"Lead Up was an incredible learning experience. The instructors were extremely insightful and gave me tools and taught me techniques I will be able to use successfully in the future."

—Shawn

"After the 1st Authentic Leadership session, I started practicing the authenticity techniques in my daily work. Soon after, we were asked to head up a new DHS CSS office in Norman. I don’t think I would have been as ready to face this challenge if I hadn’t been in LeadUP and just learned about authentic leadership as well as how to build and sustain a high performing team."

—Andrea

"The opportunity to attend LeadUP has been an incredibly valuable and exceptional experience. Each presenter offered their own unique perspective and set of applicable tools for leaders at any level of our organization."
